burg, yes, I believe kids are allowed to attend, which seems to be true for most, if not all, pipe shows. Most pipe shows have somewhat of a family atmosphere to them. I have literally seen kids in strollers at most of the shows.

Kids are welcome but I made the mistake of bring my wife and kids to Chicago one year. My boys are grown now but I would never did it again!

I made it to the hotel around 3 and met up with my buddy Brad and Rex at the desk and we enjoyed the brutally cold day sitting around smoking and visiting until we ventured out for dinner and drinks at Tony's in historic St Charles. We had a quiet night, I lit up the pipe I had bought earlier in the day and we were joined by Tony and Rolf of MSP area who had just arrived. Today me and Rex will be checking out the area shops and later will will join up with "uncle" Chuck who was delayed a day by weather. 8O

Awesome! Thank you for the reply. I'm excited as this is my fist show and I'm bringing my son, dad, and a good friend of mine who is also getting into pipes. See you there!

I didn't go to the show but I did get a report from someone who did. Apparently business was brisk and attendance was very good. Unfortunately for attendees Mother Nature decided to bless them with a Winter Storm of modest proportions but enough to make people abandon ship early. I am told the show was basically over by 2:30PM.
